If I remember correct we had to do so many push ups, sit ups and pull ups for one test. I had to do that one time and run two miles when I had to be taped. I'm a big frame guy. My ideal weight is 30 pounds more than thier standard.
I remember all of that - seemed like some soft ass shit until a DI noticed it didn't hurt & then they made it so.
The U.S. military has no standards outside of SOF. Hence their forcing females, gays, and trannies in the service and into combat units.
Nobody is being forced into service. Only about 5% of the military have standards?
I suppose. We had something called 5BX and included pushups, sit ups, jumping jacks, knee bends and toe touches. Five basic exercises.
In high school I could never climb a rope. In basic I found it in me to climb the damn rope so I wouldn't get set back a week.
Hub asked if you were Air Force. Their 5BX meant just that, five times around the BX it was also referred to as the fox hunt.
What? What do you know about the military. From what some friends have told me the AF is stricter now than when I was in. I was in a strict unit.
WTH are you even talking about? President Nixon killed conscription (the draft) almost 45 years ago (01 July 1973) which means all 5 armed forces personnel have voluntarily enlisted/been commissioned since then, and I would really like to hear your vast personal experiences with military service.
Yup, A1C. The rank doesn't exist anymore although E-4 still exists.
What was your AFSC? Hub's asking, he was a 45799 at retirement. As an E-4 he was a 43151E.
Don't really recall, 30454 maybe. Ground Radio Maintenance.
